#londontrip #summervacation #europetrip #trip #london #uk #holiday I recently returned from a 20-day trip to London, and I'm still reeling from the experience. From the moment I arrived, I knew I was in for a treat. The city's iconic landmarks, world-class museums, and vibrant culture made me feel like I was in the heart of Europe. My trip began with a flight from Singapore to Heathrow Airport, which cost me around $600. After arriving, I took the Tube (London's metro system) to my hotel in Covent Garden, which cost around $10. My hotel was centrally located, making it easy to explore the city. For the next few days, I explored the city using the efficient public transportation system, which cost around $3 per ride. Here are some of the top places I visited: - Buckingham Palace: $30 entrance fee (I watched the Changing of the Guard ceremony) - The British Museum: free entrance, but donations welcome (I spent hours exploring the ancient artifacts) - The National Gallery: free entrance, but guided tours cost $20 (I saw works by Van Gogh, Monet, and Leonardo da Vinci) - The Tower of London: $25 entrance fee (I saw the Crown Jewels and the Yeoman Warders) - Westminster Abbey: $20 entrance fee (I attended a service and saw the graves of famous Britons) - Camden Market: free entrance, but shopping and food were a must-experience (I tried traditional British street food) I also took a day trip to Oxford, which cost around $50 for a return train ticket. I visited the famous University of Oxford and saw the iconic Bodleian Library. The food in London was incredible, and I had some of the best meals of my life. A traditional English breakfast at a local café cost around $15, while a Michelin-starred dinner cost around $100. I also tried fish and chips, bangers and mash, and a full English tea. Here's a breakdown of my expenses: - Flights: $600 - Train fare: $100 - Accommodation (7 nights): $1,000 - Food and drink: $600 - Transportation (Tube, etc.): $50 - Activities and entrance fees: $250 - Total: $2,600 I would highly recommend London to anyone looking for a cultural and historical experience. The city has something for everyone, and I can't wait to go back." #summerdestinations

By having the displays of the Crown Jewels in the middle, it allowed the crowds to get sorted out and everyone knew what you were waiting for. We were there at about 1030am and had to wait 20 minutes. If it's raining you will be waiting in the elements during this time, the queue is in the middle of the yard. The queue moved quickly and it very organized. There were lots of school tours on the day we were in which meant lots of energy in the room. The crown jewels were a high point for us. Even the empty crowns are impressive but you have to seem them in person to really understand. We ride the conveyor belt by amd looked and then, went back in the viewing deck and read about the items, with the new inclusion of King Charles III and then went through again and it was even better. The emeralds, sapphires, and rubies pop, but the diamonds are the stars.#awesomepic #couplestrip #deliciousfood

#visitlondon The Tower of London stands as an iconic symbol of England's rich and tumultuous history.

In conclusion, the Tower of London stands as a testament to England's captivating history. It serves as a reminder of the power and struggles that shaped the nation, evoking a sense of awe and fascination among all who visit its hallowed grounds.

So I had to do all the Touristy stuff right? 🙈 - Big Ben - London Eye - Tower of London - Tower Bridge - Westminster Abbey - The Shard Alongside plenty of scone stalking, Big Bus hopping, eating way more than I should, and walking so much my legs aren’t feeling like mine right now. 😆 The weather while nice can be rather schitzo, so layering is your best option. The sun doesn’t glare very much here so I think I am quite suited for London weather 🥶 Pity I only had so long to explore this incredible city - thank you London for great memories ❤️

Roughly 150 people make the Tower of London their home today. This includes the Beefeaters and their families, a doctor, chaplain, and the Tower's Governor. And of course, the famous ravens. Even though The Tower of London is largely a museum with a fascinating look into the past, is still officially a royal residence. The monarch could, at any time, choose to move in, though this hasn't happened for centuries. #travel #toweroflondon #castle #visitlondon #history #london

There is abother attraction located not too far from the tower bridge called the tower of London where this dates back all the way to 1100 or the 1200s. This is a historical castle right by the river Thames where its built for his majesty and I also believe its also a Fort as when you enter you will realise there is a trench surrounding the castle itself. This place has also become popular as I've heard the original Crown jewels is kept here right inside the tower of London, but if course a replica is place for exhibit. I've to warn you, the entrance fee to the tower of London isn't cheap which can cost more than $40 for an entrance fee but it's worth the visit as you get to explore the different rooms in the tower of London, what guards and his/her majesty uses to wear, the weapons for torture and many more. #celebratewithtrip #toweroflondon #london #historical #educational #uk #unitedkingdom #castle
